Replacing a damaged tile and cracked grout

To maintain the floors integrity, it is important to replace a cracked tile. Of course it's also important to replace a cracked tile for appearance.

Follow these easy steps:

Remove the damaged tile with a hammer and chisel. Be sure to wear eye protection and work gloves to prevent an accident.
Use the old chisel to scrape the old adhesive off the floor.
Apply the adhesive to the back of the new tile by using a wide blade putty knife.
Set the tile firmly in position and level it with the surrounding tiles and then tap in to place with a hammer and wood block.
Leave for a couple of hours for the tile adhesive to set u and use a rubber grout float to spread the grout and fill the gaps between the tiles.
Wipe off excess grout with a damp grout sponge.
After the grout has set up slightly, go back with the grout sponge and clean up the tile grout.
